Indy children's museum

The Indianapolis Children's museum is the biggest children's museum in the country, so we have been wanting to go since we moved here. Last month I had to go up to Indy to go to H&M to get the suit for Steve's wedding so I figured if I was going up already we might as well go to the museum. With our health insurance card we get in for $1 per person, so that made it possible for us to go.

Let me just say that it was AMAZING, and so FUN!!! I couldn't believe how huge it was. They had a dinosaur exhibit, a planetarium, a glass blowing exhibit, a huge dollhouse exhibit, nascar, a dragon exhibit, trains, polor bears and penguins, and much much more. But our very favorite exhibit was...


BARBIE!!!

They had barbies from the past 50 years and the exhibit focused on how barbie has influenced fashion.



This was my favorite barbie. I love her dress!


Gracie even enjoyed dressing up the dolls.


As we were enjoying the Barbie exhibit a girl came out and asked for volunteers to be in their barbie fashion show. Cayden and Emma were picked and we went to a back room to get their hair, makeup, and wardrobe done. Emma loved it, actually, so did Cayden. Then they got to walk down the runway to music and do a little fashion show for everyone there.

Cayden was picked to be the DJ,


but later decided he wanted to be one of the models.


Emma changed her clothes twice, she just couldn't decide what to wear. This is what she settled on


My little models


Cayden was trying to be sexy like Ken. He's so funny!



We also loved the dragon exhibit, they got to sit and sketch a dragon of their own. Cayden loves to draw and this was one of his favorite parts.




Emma decided she must have a doll house like this on someday!



We had a great day, the musuem was amazing and we can't wait to go back with daddy over our Christmas break!!!
